Father’s Reading Day

Fathers and reading: two of the most important parts of a child’s life. On June 10, EtonHouse Malaysia International School recognized their significance through Father’s Reading Day. All fathers were invited in for the morning. Children left their regular classes to join their fathers in the garden, with a muffin and a book, to share a good read. It was smiles all around as families explored treasured childhood stories or discovered new favorites. We hope all fathers, and all families, will continue to read daily with their children. It is perhaps the single most important thing a family can do for a child’s emotional, social and academic development. As Dr. Seuss said, “You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
